JOSE MARTINEZ BARDERA, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

CQMBINATION-TOOL.

1,398,9l9fi. Specification of Application filed may 17,

Be it known that 1, Jose MARTINEZ BAR- DERA, a subject .of the King of Spain, and resident of Brooklyn, in the city of New York, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Tools, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to combination tools.

One object thereof is to provide a combination hammer and wrench having a plurality of wrench portions providing a large variety of wrench jaws arranged to obtain a high degree of strength and convenience for manipulation.

Other objects of this invention will be in part obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.

' The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the followin r claims.

n the accompanying drawings, in which is shown one of various possible illustrative embodiments of this invention,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined hammer and wrench embodying the present invention;

Fig. 2 is an elevational view thereof;

Fi 3 is an elevational view of the other 'or opposite face thereof; and

Fig. e is a top plan view of the device.

Referring now in detail to the drawing, the embodiment of the invention there shown is seen to consist of a combined wrench and hammer having a handle shank A and a head l3 preferably formed integral therewith. The shank A is preferably rectangular in cross-section to permit easy gripping of the device. The cross-head B is formed at one end with a solid hammer por tion 0 and the opposite end is cut out to provide a preferably polygonal socket 1) adapted to serve as a wrench for similarly shaped bolt nuts. The material of the head between the socket D and the hammer portion C is cut away on either face of the head to provide nut-engaging wrench portions E, F, (l, and H of varying diameter and preferably square for engaging square nuts or of one face Letters Patent.

the like for wrench manipulation. These wrench portions E, F, G, and H are soformed in the head as to have sufficient material of the head portion bordering the faces I thereof to provide suilicient strength and rigidity, the central integral partition J and a cross integral partition K being formed by the cutting away of the material of the head, as will appear from the drawing. These partitions and the material of the two ends of the hammer together with the bottom portion L of the head cooperate in iving strong supporting or retaining wal s for the nut-engaging jaws of the wrench portions, as will be readily understood. It will be clear that there is thus provided a strong practical device aifording at least five wrench portions, one of which, D, is of socket formation, and of any desired configuration for the similarly formed nut or bolt head. The four nut or bolt engaging sections E, F, (l, and H may be used with a bolt head of varying standard diameter, the inside walls thereof being positioned within a corresponding one of these wrench sections, as will be readily understood. It will thus be seen that there is provided Patented Dec. 6, ism... I

an apparatus in which the several objects of this invention are achieved and which is well adapted to meet the most severe conditions of practical use.

As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention and as various changes might be made in the embodiment above setforth, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be inter preted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A device of the class described comprising a handle shank, a crosshead carried by said shank, said cross-head having'a series of recesses cut partway down therethrough adjacent to each of the sides and intermediate the ends thereof, a longitudinallv disposed partition joining the end portions of said head and disposed midway between the sides of said head for forming the side walls of said recesses, and transversely dis osed reinforc ng partition arranged on can side of sand. longitud nally disposed partition ends of inner walls of said In a device of oross-hea a bottom together,

said

01 comprising spaced end portions,

portion oining said end portions an upstandin r longitudinally of and in sides of s aid bottom porti partition disposed idway between the on joining said end portions and said bottom portion together, 10 and. a transverse partition outstanding from each side of said longitudinal partition for providing nut-receiving sockets on each side and on the upper face of said head.

Signed at New York city, in the county 15 of New York and State of New York, this 21st day of April, A. D. 1920.
